Punjabi Thathera Art Legacy (P-TAL)
Panchkula, India

P-TAL aims at reviving the dying craft form of the indigenous Thatheras community of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar. The Thatheras of Jandiala Guru are a community of skilled craftsmen who specialize in the traditional technique of making hand crafted Brass,copper and bell metal utensils by hammering metal sheets. This unique craft of the Thatheras of Jandiala Guru in Amritsar is the first craft of India to be inscribed in the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014. Our goal is to take the craft to international markets, and to simultaneously improve the livelihood and infrastructure for the holistic sustenance and development of the craft at every stage. Like the Thatheras, P-TAL is an epitome of making tradition a trend, preserving legacy through legal entity converting practice into perfection thus moulding the vessels of hope!
